Chloe and Pegleg 2002.Over the last  ten years, Raspberry Ridge has added a variety of animals in addition to increasing its' horse herd.  Five years ago, one llama was added, as a novelty.  Now, RRF is looking towardsChloe and Llarry (left)marketing the llama fibre, prized by spinners and luxury clothiers.  It is very fine, soft, light , non-allergic, and not prone to the same shrinkage as wool.
Llama fleece comes in a variety of beautiful, natural colours.  RRF currently has white, cinnamon, and buff, which it hopes to have available to spinners.
